The Washington Post blamed the Electoral College for making so-called man-made global warming nearly impossible to “thwart.”
The last two U.S. presidents who lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College have actively worked against efforts to end global warming, Todd Cort, the co-director of the Yale Center for Business and the Environment, wrote Monday in an editorial for The Washington Post.
“At the very least, the impact of the 2000 electoral college vote was a delay of four years in addressing climate change (and it is arguable that even though Bush won his second term with the popular vote, that scenario would have been far less likely were he not the incumbent thanks to the 2000 vote),” Cort wrote.
Former President George W. Bush’s victory set the fight against climate change back several years, he added, because it kept Nobel Prize winner and former Vice President Al Gore from kick-starting the climate change warrior movement earlier.
He then went on to blame the Electoral College, whose members met Monday to officially determine the next president, for the advent of Trump — a self-proclaimed climate skeptic who once said global warming was a “hoax” perpetrated by China to hurt American business.

Maybe the lefties should stop all their bloviating hot air and STFU, globull warming wouldn't be a problem.
I guess the globull warming made Chi-Town balmy this past weekend.
Oh more fake news!
Price of Tea in China?....
Their strategy is to constantly remind people as a way of programming and brainwashing them. Many cults use this tactic.
What a bunch of childish morons...I didn’t realize how deep stupidity could go.
What hubris
Trump should ignore them and next election campaign in CA and NY for the ‘popular vote’.
He will STILL win the same places get the same vote from floyover country, AND THEN he will get CA and NY.
This will give him a near 50 state win.
That won’t shut them up, but it would be awesome.
I am so confused.
It was global cooling in the 1980s, then global warming in the 2000s, then global climate change in the 2010s and now we are back to global warming?
It sounds like decades of global bulls___t to me!
I dumber for reading this article.
“.... actively worked against efforts to end global warming ....”
Because ..... it’s ..... IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!
Man (humans) CAN NOT affect global warming/climate change PERIOD!
STOP trying to. STOP throwing money into that crevasse
Drop/Ocean
Grain of sand/universe (or underverse, C of R)
The left hates democracy. Now that they have enough illegals casting votes to tip elections, they have to do away with the electoral college to guarantee control of the White House.
I say that is fantastic! And what about diverting that money towards Veterans, and towards the homeless?
Undocumented minority women and children hit hardest.
“The last two U.S. presidents who lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College have actively worked against efforts to end global warming”
All this article is, is a republican bashing article shrouded in a Globull Warming cloak.
BS
Spherical roasting?
You just have to be smarter, otherwise it woudld be colled “Electoral High School”.
Thank goodness I skipped it.
Sadly, there are few colleges where drivel is not a requirement.
Well, the original did come from the ‘wapo’. You know, a legitimate, re”lie”able news source. ;-)
Electoral College makes it easier to fight stupid liberals.
